Horror Movie B Queen

I first discovered Evelyn Ankers after tuning in one night to a cool film, The Son of Dracula, really enjoyable film made in 1943, in my option a top film, easy to watch, the style and fashion is always incredible.
In the movie Evelyn having a thing for the morbid, obviously has to run off with Dracula and well you can see the movie to see how the plot turns out. 🙂
Movies from the 1970’s and older I make a point of being at least 1/3rd of my TV viewing, won’t catch me subscribing to any pay TV, the gold already exists.
Ok so this stunning lady was quite a lead for for many Horror Movies made back in the forties, apt she was known as the Known as “the Queen of the Bs” why not sounds good to me.
